Paula passed away on Thursday, February 29, 2024 in Fort Worth. She was born October 19, 1957 in Cleburne to Pat (Seaton) and Glen Duke. She married Troy Hennesay on December 10, 1993 in Cleburne.
Paula was an incredible mother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was feisty and fun, spending her twenties and thirties traveling with her family and friends. Loved ones have stated that if Paula couldn't find someone to go with her on a whim, she'd pack up her nieces and nephews and drive them down to the coast. Paula loved to dance and often sang off-key to her favorite country and rock songs.
She married Troy Hennesay in 1993 and had two children, Cheyenne and Roy. Paula cheered them on as they navigated through different hobbies and sports and practiced general patience when it came time to do homework. She fought for their health and happiness as they grew into adulthood. Her love for her children will be remembered through songs, temperament, and their care for others.
Paula was a constant for those she held dear. She loved with her whole heart and will be greatly missed by those who experienced her vibrant spirit.
She was preceded in death by her grandparents, James "Buddy" and Irene Doty and her father, Glen Duke.
Survivors include her beloved husband, Troy Hennesay; son, Roy Hennesay; daughter, Cheyenne Hennesay; mother, Pat Seaton; siblings, Kay Garcia and husband, Robert, Kevin Duke and wife, Lori, Starla Travis and husband, Jason, Glenda Huffman and husband, Cliff, and Mary Sketchley and husband, Don; numerous nieces and nephews that she loved very much; and many other extended family and friends.
